Ninja Birthday Party, Part III ~Lil' Plush Ninja Tutorial

A cuddly plush ninja -- what every little warrior needs for ninja naptime!

Because my daughter's ninja themed birthday party started in the afternoon and concluded in the evening, I wanted to give a party favor that would send guests off to bed with sweet little ninja dreams.

I came up with a pattern for this plush ninja, based on the graphic image I designed for the party. The ninjas are made from super-soft fleece and felt, and are simple to make.

The plush ninjas were a big hit at the party! Tucked in to each ninja's red belt was a card that read, "Sleep Tight Little Ninja", and I've been happy to learn that over the weekend the kids and their ninjas became steadfast bedtime pals.

Here's a tutorial and the free pattern for making a plush friend for your little ninja:

These are awesome. I'm having a karate party for my kids in 2 weeks. I don't think I have the skill to make these. Do you make them and sell them and if so, would I be able to get them quick enough? Please e-mail me and let me know. sari8970@optonline.net Thank you so much!

These are awesome. I'm having a karate party for my boys in less than 2 weeks. I don't have the skill to make these and since it's so soon I wouldn't have the time to play around and try and do it. Do you make these and sell them? If so, would I have enough time? Please e-mail me at sari8970@optonline.net and let me know.

Thanks Sari! I would love to help, but I'm in grad school, and have several big projects due over the next few weeks. I don't think I'll have any time to pull out my sewing machine. A cute alternative to the stuffed ninjas would be to find some inexpensive stuffed animals (maybe Target or a dollar store)and buy some black ankle socks. You can snip an opening for the eyes in each sock and slip it on the toy for a ninja mask. My girls do this all the time for their stuffed animals.
